privatize custom indicator

[san1313]

I have acustom indicator I would like to share with a friend. I would like to have controll over the indicator, like not showing the values of the indicator and having a time limit on how long it would be able to be used on a certain computer... is this possible in ninja trader?

san1313, for the indicator plots you could run with

PlotsConfigurable = false;
DisplayInDataBox = false;

in your Initialize() for example.

A custom time / machine expiry could be for example created via comparing Time[0] / DateTimeNow to a date and working your friends machine id given by Cbi.License.MachineId

If you want to include his NT software key, as well, then that would be given by -

Cbi.License.Id
